Has anyone had luck with the pest control granules that you can put into soil? I’ve been doing battle with mealy bugs for ages now and am looking at one from Bonide.

It works for a little bit but you have to remember to reapply every 6 weeks to see results. I’m lazy so that’s a problem for me. I also suspect that the mealybug are becoming resistant to it now 😕

Bonide systemic granules are great! They take a few weeks to work, since your plant has to absorb them to work. And then needs re-applied every 8 weeks. But you just sprinkle or measure on the amount for the pot size and then water it in. Just don't over water to the point it'll run mostly out of the pot. I'm hoping they add a pesticide task on here so you get a reminder. But I just put one on my phone for the plants I use it with. Sierra Natural Science also makes a liquid pet/child safe option from rosemary extract

A pesticide option would be phenomenal
